The collection is organized around six main themes:

• Sounding Art: The notion of sounding art, its relation to sound studies, and its evolution and possibilities.





• Acoustic Knowledge and Communication: How we approach, study, and analyze sound and the challenges of writing about sound.





• Listening and Memory: Listening from different perspectives, from the psychology of listening to embodied and technologically mediated listening.





• Acoustic Spaces, Identities and Communities: How humans arrange their sonic environments, how this relates to sonic identity, how music contributes to our environment, and the ethical and political implications of sound.





• Sonic Histories: How studying sounding art can contribute methodologically and epistemologically to historiography.





• Sound Technologies and Media: The impact of sonic technologies on contemporary culture, electroacoustic innovation, and how the way we make and access music has changed.

With contributions from leading scholars and cutting-edge researchers, The Routledge Companion to Sounding Art is an essential resource for anyone studying the intersection of sound and art.
